Not that it's but so important, if important all...but as a kid, about 14/15 did box for a year or so. And, as an older kid, 20, was on the base (Thule, Greenland) judo team and competed in one tournament. Does this make me some kinda expert? Of course not. What it does make me is someone who knows there's no magic out there when it comes to what we call marital arts. Period.
I did learn that it hurts when you get punched. I did learn that you can get knocked out! I did learn, that all things being equal, those who practice the most are usually the ones who win.
No, of course I'm not knocking those who pursue marital arts. I'm sure that they can be interesting and of course it's great exercise. That said, I don't think there are many 115 pound karate guys who are going to kick the butts of folks who weigh 200 pounds (of course, this could be a discussion for another day).
Anyway, a theme running through all of these bogus techniques is CHI (pronounced chee). Yep, this is the good old life energy or whatever you want to call it that's used in energy healing...you know, Reiki, Jin Shin Do, BodyTalk, and quantum this that and the other.
Yes, it's all BS. Period. And, the energy healing stuff has been proven many times to not work.
The quality of the videos isn't all that good but I think they are worth watching. Note: One of the videos has a lot of Fs and MFs.
